Poker Run Fun

10th Annual Poker Run,May 16, 09, sponsored by the Marion County, Fl. Aquaholics, organized by John Green and David Clark. There where over 300 kayakers supporting a fund raiser for the Ocala Outdoor Adventure Camp. This was the third year that proceeds went for the water front programs for the camp. The 8 mile paddled on the Okalawaha River, starting at Gores Landing and ending at the Outpost, Ureka, Fl. The weather was great and they raised monies for a great cause. Pictured is Greg Workman,FWC Adventure Camp Manager and his daughter Hannah enjoying paddling the 12 ft NuCanoe.

Trout On!

"Check out these pictures of the trout I caught recently! Let me tell you about the one that got away. It towed me and my NuCanoe around for half an hour before it broke away. :) Can you top that one? Pease feel free to do so."

"I have a NuCanoe..."

"....and I love it. I have paddled it on the Hooch (Chattahoochee River) and on a lake. It worked out great both times. I love the fact I could add a electric motor if I needed a little help getting the boat from point to point on the lake. I am planning on using it down on the coast this summer... I think the way it is rigged with anchor system is going to help a lot on dealing with the tides. It is also nice that I can change the setup to be tandem, fishing geared, paddling geared, etc. rather easily as it is well designed. I am not sure if there is a SOT that is set up at purchase to be that versatile.

"I would be happy to talk live about it. Shoot me a PM if you want to send a # to call.

"I have talked SOT vs. NuCanoe through with a few paddlers (who are occasional fishermen) and a few fishermen (who are occasional paddlers). The general consensus is that NuCanoe is the better fishing boat, a traditional SOT may be a better paddling boat.

"In short, after my own research, the NuCanoe was the best for me. Depending on your preferences/needs, your answer could be different. Oh yeah... Up The River Outfitters is where I purchased my boat. They let me try different boats out on the river and treated me great. I am still plugging for them every chance I get.

"The boat is very easy to get into and out of both in deep water and in shallow water. When you pull yourself in in deeper water, the boat tends to get a little bit of water in it. I have heard some people bring large sponges to ring the water out... I usually just paddle to shallow water and tip the boat on its side. Overall, because of the width, I think it makes for a stable base, which helps on entry/exit.

"On the question of storing gear, when I am solo there is tons of room... I usually bring a big tackle bag and a cooler for food and have lots of room left. The guy who designed this boat definitely had fishermen in mind as everything from the anchor system to the seats is built for efficiency and comfort. I think it is going to be a bit more cramped when I have two fishermen in the boat. Here is a picture when I was just out paddling with no gear."

Why I Bought My NuCanoe

"I have the 2 person/12' model. It's around 85 lbs. which does make it tough to get onto the Explorer. Here's some things I like about it:

• It's very stable. You need to REALLY try to get it to flip. It will also float when full of water, including yourself in it.

• It's rugged.

• It paddles easier than the weight implies. It also tracks well.

• It's versatile.

• And, the #1 reason I chose it, is the ability to add a motor for flat water fishing.

That will be 2 cents please..."

Dan River Fishing

From Kipp W. in North Carolina:

"Love them boats!!!!!! My friends and I fishing on the Dan River."

"Loving our NuCanoe"

From Marilyn M. in LaConner, WA:

"I took possession of a 10' NuCanoe a couple of weeks ago and have been out in it with my 11-year-old grandson 4 times. We have been to Pass Lake near Deception Pass and to Cranberry Lake in Anacortes. We love it. It is so effortless and easy to paddle and maneuver. It's perfect for us, so thank you for your advice.

"So many people ask us about it when we are out on it and I give it a glowing review. Hopefully, it will result in a few sales! It is such a great product and I feel good in recommending it.

"It was actually a gift for my grandson from his grandfather and I know that in a few years my grandson will be taking it out with his friends, rather than his grandmother. I am hoping by that time that there might be an 8' model weighing about 40 pounds available for one person because I am going to have a hard time giving this one up!"
